I'm planning to purchase an IBM AT compatible 386 machine within the next week. I've been intrigued the possibility of purchasing a machine with a lunchbox case. A fairly knowledgeable friend suggested a check with other folks about their experience using lunchbox, lcd cases. I do need to put 4 megabytes of ram and a network card in my machine-my friend cautioned me that this could cause heat problems. What is the experience of other folks out there? Please respond by e-mail. Thanks. Randy Burns

A fairly knowledgeable friend suggested a check with other Don't buy a Compaq. As portables go, they make very good desktop machines. We have several, and *all* of them have had problems with loose connections after being moved. Several of the expansion chassis' have had problems (particularly with the bus connector). All in all, they've been a pain in the butt. Bill Kuykendall ...ddsw1!point!wek
